It does happen pretty often though when I'm with one person and my phone rings, I try to leave the room to answer but when the person follows there's like a divide by zero error in my head since I know the two people can't see eachother and therefore won't understand that if I'm acting half different it's because of my company. In that situation I usually fail to compromise between two personalities and just choose one (usually the one for the person on the phone) and when I'm finished with the call the person usually looks at me real funny. I know they must be thinking "WTF?!?!". I *HATE* those moments.
lol, I completely understand. I'm a lot more open in solely female company. Slightly more male if they ask for a male opinion. Then more male if there's a woman there that I'm interested in. More male again if there are other males there. And more male again in solely male company.
When the mix changes suddenly, it's weird to come up with a composite non-committal me. I wish I didn't do this. I prefer who I am in female company. It's easier to be yourself. When are you most yourself, by the way?
Is it normal to act differently around different people?
